This is why I’m bitter

So I worked all day at a theater, stripping away the ticketing area built in the 80s. It’s a beautiful old building, and I’m on the board. Anyway, I was tired and it’s hot, so I went across the street to the local bar. Some guy says, “Hey, I used to come to some wildContinue reading “This is why I’m bitter”

Summer Music

There’s a particularly amazing thing that happens in my small town during the summer. We have around 36,000 residents. Yet, we have at least 5 theater groups, a large collection of talented musicians, and several successful bands.

I love playing pool and darts, hanging at a bar, and drinking whiskey and beer, but a good series about love and fashion gets me every time. The gay just sneaks upContinue reading “Emily in Paris”

What day is this?

So, to start off this blog, I thought we’d start with the obvious. It’s a pandemic! I don’t know about you, but I have lost all track of days. Two times a week, I fumble to figure out if it is garbage day. (I’m in an area with a regular garbage day and a recycleContinue reading “What day is this?”
